Fowler police closed off Main Street in Tuesday, July 31, as they attempted to serve a warrant to a man they believed to be armed.

At approximately 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Fowler Police established a perimeter around the 100 block of North Main Street in Fowler. The police had information that a male suspect who is wanted on several felony warrants was inside the apartment. Information was also provided that the male suspect, who has not been named at this time, made threats toward police officers.

"This is why we took extra precautions in apprehending the suspect," said Fowler Police Department Sgt. Vince Suarez, who is handling the case.

After establishing a perimeter, Fowler police were joined by the Rocky Ford Police Department, Colorado State Patrol and the Otero County Sheriffs Department, including Sheriff Chris Johnson and Undersheriff Ken Kimsey.

"We blocked off the section of Main Street for safety reasons," said Chief Tommie McLallen.

At approximately 3:30 p.m. the Fowler Police Department received more information that the suspect was located in another house and had left in a vehicle.

At that point all other agencies including the Fowler Police left the perimeter.

"We will continue to follow up in leads and continue looking for the suspect. It might come to a point where we will ask the public for any leads they may have in finding the suspect," Suarez said.
